The 1920's AU involves alternate universe versions of my characters Lafayette and Dmitri from the Nerdy and Jock plot. This AU takes place in early 1920's America and only involves Lafayette and Dmitri instead of the whole Nerdy and Jock cast. In this plot, Lafayette and Dmitri are college roommates in their early/mid 20's. Due to circumstances, Lafayette comes to work at a speakeasy/nightclub (?) as a female performer. Lafayette's job and general genderfluidity progresses the main plot/themes of the story. Major topics discuss the perception of masculinity and femininity in terms of personal conception and societal conception, while also exploring how Lafayette and Dmitri balance their differing preferences for affection (much like in the canon Nerdy and Jock universe).

It's also not nearly as organized or kool as I'm making it sound;;;; HONESTLY I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE 1920s so idk where this AU is going.... I JUST LIKE DRAWING THE CLOTHES.....!!!

oh also I'm thinking of making this plot into a detective story w/ Laf and Dmitri being an amateur detective duo. (???!?!? random)

Some difference between AU Lafayette and Dmitri to keep in mind include:*1920s-Lafayette is known by their birth name Ritsu.*Ritsu is genderfluid instead of non-binary in this AU (due to societal circumstances, I feel that their perception of gender would change; they don't use the term genderfluid in-universe tho bc it didn't exist yet)*Likewise, I tend to use gender neutral pronouns for Ritsu in this AU since their gender fluxuates between male and female instead of being in a constant state of gender-indifference. No one uses neutral pronouns for Ritsu in-universe.*Ritsu is never medically diagnosed as intersex (both canon-Laf and 1920s-Ritsu are amab, but Laf learns he's intersex in middle school)*Dmitri's personality's a little more closed off this AU because he didn't meet Jack and Brodney as a teenager*The relationship between Ritsu and Dmitri doesn't initially focus on power dynamics, but idk it'd probably come up between them when they become ~detectives~ (??) (power dynamics have been a theme in their friendship since they were kids in canon-universe)
